The welding I did yesterday on the armature for the Legs and Cakes sign tree looks deceptively simple. But when I start adding up the numbers it changes in a hurry. So far there are more than four hundred feet of pencil rod in the tree with approximately 300 welds holding it securely together. There will be about another one hundred and fifty feet of rod to add before we are done. Another half a day of shaping the rod and welding it all together will complete this stage. Then it is on to hand tying the lath onto this shape in readiness for the concrete sculpting. We are making great progress this far. Stay tuned….
